Statement Regarding Passing of Racer Bobby Hamilton, 49

"Bobby Hamilton was a true racer, an 'old school' racer, and his
contributions to NASCAR over the years encompassed much more than statistics in
a history book. Bobby will always be remembered at Talladega Superspeedway for
his exciting win here in 2001. In a race that was caution free for 188 laps, he
secured his fourth and final win in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, and brought
Andy Petree his first victory as a car owner in the series. He made quite an
impact on the sport, as well as the people he touched on a personal level and
will certainly be missed. We will continue to keep the Hamilton family in our
thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."
